Keeping Mum (2005 Niall Johnson & co-scr)

New nanny to Vicar Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas turns out not only to be Maggie Smith, but a released murderer. And as reasonably anticipated, she helps transform the household, including sex mad daughter Tamsin Egerton (Love, Rosie, Chalet Girl, St Trinian's) and bullied Toby Parkes. It's quite fun.

With Patrick Swayze, Liz Smith, Emilia Fox (the young Maggie) and James Booth, to who the film is dedicated.

Filmed all over the place: the village is St Michael Penkivel in Cornwall, various locations were on the Isle of Man, the Yorkshire Moors provide scenery and train stations.




Story / co-writer Richard Russo, camera Gavin Finney, editor Robin Sales, music Dickon Hinchcliffe, production designer Crispian Sallis.
